What a big piece of arse pie, would the cylinders go back in far enough? Would they chuff! Only home made rhubarb and yogurt cake made it less frustrating....oh and draggy rotors get very hot and burn flesh easily!

I feel your pain. Dread replacing pads my juicy 7's, takes ages of waggling with a screwdriver to get the pads back far enough. My Elixir CR's haven't been too bad so far though.

EDIT: Think Park do a tool to help get the pistons back, may be worth a look.

Have you pushed the lever forwards to lets the pads go back that wee bit further?
